England Premier League Wonderkid Josh King Aims for World Cup Glory

After the 18-year-old Josh King made his senior debut for Fulham last season in a 2-1 Carabao Cup win against Shrewsbury Town, where he assisted both goals, the young midfielder has continued to impress under Marco Silva. King has started all seven Premier League matches for Fulham this season and has caught the attention of England Under-21 selectors for European Championship qualifiers.

Despite seeing his debut goal ruled out against Chelsea due to a VAR error, the goal was still voted Fulham’s goal of the month, highlighting his growing influence on the team. King has expressed ambitious personal goals, including a desire to win the World Cup with England, reflecting the high aspirations he set as a child. Fulham’s tradition of promoting academy talent has helped him rise through the ranks, similar to past players like Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho, who were later poached by bigger clubs.
